Ingredient Quest On Roblox: Celebrating Real Food With Real Prizes
Chipotle created "Ingredient Quest" to educate its Gen Z fans on the brand's 53 real ingredients while giving them the opportunity to claim a reward of free Chipotle in the physical world. Inspired by the generation's love for nostalgic collectibles, the experience taps into the thrill of opening "card packs" and celebrating rare "pulls." Like collectibles in the physical world, each of Chipotle's ingredient card packs on Roblox feature an assortment of five cards with original artwork.
How It Works
- Roblox users will meet an employee inside Chipotle's virtual restaurant in the Burrito Builder experience. Users will get a starter pack of five unique ingredient cards to begin the Ingredient Quest experience. The goal of "Ingredient Quest" is to collect all 53 ingredient cards.
- Users must roll burritos in Burrito Builder to earn Burrito Bucks,4 which can be redeemed for ingredient card packs. Each card pack contains five cards. Forty ingredient cards are available in card packs.
- The remaining eight ingredient cards are hidden throughout Chipotle's Burrito Builder experience in a virtual scavenger hunt.
- The first 50,000 users to collect all 53 unique ingredient cards will unlock a free entrée offer.2
"Our fans love to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with our real ingredients," said Chris Brandt, Chief Brand Officer, Chipotle. "This year, we're giving the Roblox community the opportunity to compete for free Chipotle and learn more about what makes our brand unique along the way."
